MASTER PLAN OF LUMBINI
In
1978, the Master Plan designed by Prof. Tange was finalized and
approved by the Government of Nepal and United Nations. In the meantime,
Government of Nepal was directly involved in the planning and
development of Lumbini through formation of Lumbini Development
Committee. The committee acquired necessary land, relocated the villages
and commenced the development of basic infrastructures including
forestation program in the planned area. The master plan thus changed
the face of Lumbini. In 1985, the Lumbini Development Trust Act came
into existence and Lumbini Development Trust (LDT) was formed
accordingly. Now the Trust is responsible for the implementation of the
master plan and for the overall development of Lumbini, and other
Buddhist sites of Kapilavastu, Devadaha and Ramagrama.
